All Rights Reserved
Version 2.0
ColorView is a color image viewer/converter/editor for the DOS environment.
In this version, ColorView supports reading and writing the following
graphics file formats:
o JPEG (JFIF subset) JPEG is a highly compressed 24 bit "true
color" picture file format which has more colors and a smaller
file size than GIF files.
o GIF'87, GIF'89 including animations
o Windows BMP files (4, 8 and 24 bit, including 8 bit RLE)
ColorView provides:
o Floyd-Steinberg dithering
o Heckbert color reduction
o Gamma correction, Hue, Saturation, and Brightness controls
o Sharpening, Smoothing, Embossing, Edge Tracing and other
image filters
o Copy and Paste operations between all supported image formats
o New Image creation and text drawing functions
o Adjustable image Transparency Effects
o "Blue Screen" effects
o Image Rotation and Mirroring functions
o Intuitive graphical user interface, with or without a mouse
o Slideshow mode for uninterrupted image viewing
o Fast and extremely accurate Image Scaling for reducing and
enlarging pictures
o GIF Animation support
o Ability to switch graphics modes while viewing an image
o And much more!
ColorView will work with:
o Standard VGA 320x200 video mode
o 8 bit, 256 color display boards with a VESA driver
o 15 bit, 32768 color display boards with a VESA driver
o 16 bit, 65356 color display boards with a VESA driver
o 24 bit color display boards with a VESA driver
o DOS 2.x, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x
o 640 K or more of physical memory
(expanded and extended memory will automatically be used)
o a hard disk
(automatically used if not enough physical memory)
o 80286, 80386-SX, 80386, 80486, Pentium processors
o Microsoft-compatible mouse
ColorView for DOS (CVIEW.EXE) will run on '286 processors and will
automatically take advantage of a '386 or better processor if one
is available. As a result, no configuration options need to be set
to double the JPEG decompression speed when a '386 or better
processor is present.
